Experience a Day in the Life with Motorized Shading

It’s easy to understand the convenience of motorized window shades in your Vail, CO, home. What could be better than opening and closing your shades to precise positions by pushing a button instead of getting up and going to each window? Let’s take that convenience and expand it to imagine what it's like to live with motorized shades and what a difference they can make in your everyday life. Continue reading to envision the new life you could have in your Colorado home.

A GENTLER AWAKENING

Leaving the comfort of your bed in the morning can be challenging, but there is an alternative to the blare of an alarm. In the morning, your shades can be coordinated with a soft alarm or music to slowly rise and let the morning light stream in. The sequence can begin with the blackout shade, and a few minutes later, the decorative shade can rise if you still need help being coaxed out of a warm, cozy slumber on a cold mountain morning. Natural light is a powerful influence on our daily rhythms and a healthful way to start the day.

STARTING THE DAY

As you amble to the kitchen for your morning coffee, the shades in the kitchen and adjoining family room open to brighten and invigorate the spaces. They only rise partway to maintain privacy and not overwhelm you with light. With lighting control and smart automation, your lights are synchronized with your window shades to balance natural and artificial light to go about the morning routines.

LEAVING HOME

When you need to leave home for work, school, skiing, or yoga, your automated shades take care of privacy and security. Controlled via a schedule or the absence of your presence, your shades can lower to keep prying eyes out. Your smart shades can coordinate with a security alarm and surveillance cameras to ensure greater safety. Plus, if it's summer in Vail, your closed window treatments can limit heat gain from the intense mountain sun and keep your home cool and comfortable during the day.

RETURNING HOME

When you return home, your shades can rise to allow the afternoon light and mountain views. But if you have a hot Western exposure in summer, you could change the seasonal programming for your comfort and preferences. Depending on your rooms, windows, exposures, views, and privacy preferences, you can coordinate all window shades to let in as much or as little light as you want from outside.

BEDTIME

When it's time for bed, you don’t need to fuss with any shades. Whether by a schedule, a press of a bedtime button on a wall keypad or touchscreen control, or coordinated with your lights and security system, your motorized shades lower for privacy and completely darken your bedrooms for privacy and sleep.
